There is no surprise that The Odyssey is one of the most anticipated films of the month. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson. The film is an adaptation of the Greek epic of the same name. The film’s Mumbai premiere was held on Saturday, July 11. Earlier, a special fan and media screening was held on July 10 in Mumbai. The screenings were attended by Christopher Nolan, Tom Holland, Matt Damon and producer Emma Thomas.

Price No Bar For Nolan Fans

The film has been made specifically for the IMAX screens. Films played on IMAX screens are generally priced higher than those on regular screens. But the Christopher Nolan film has managed to break all records with its pricing. The most expensive ticket so far for the film is 3100 at PVR Icon in Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai. Interestingly, the tickets in that price range have already sold out for the opening weekend. This is the kind of faith people have in a Nolan film: they are sure they are getting their money’s worth at the movies.

In most theatres, the tickets are priced 1000 and upwards. In Delhi-NCR, the most expensive items are priced between 2100 and 2400. Other metropolitan cities have also adopted a similar pricing structure, and fans will have to shell out around 1000 rupees for a good seat in an IMAX theatre to watch the film on the first weekend.
